1st change 1 5/6 into a mixed number:
1 5/6 = 11/6
New problem:
8/10 divided by 11/6
to divide fractions you turn the 1st fraction upside down and then change the division sign to a multiplication sign:
8/10 / 11/6
10/8 * 11/6
=55/24 or 1 7/24
Hello! For this question, we will have to subtract fractions. In order to do this, we will have to convert the fractions into the same denominator. We do this by finding the LCD of the two numbers. In other words, we find the LCM. The LCM of 5 and 4 is 20. 4/5 converts to 16/20, and 1/4 converts to 5/20. Let's subtract these numbers like we would regular numbers. 6 16/20 - 3 5/20 is 3 11/20. There. Jordan bought 3 11/20 yards more pink ribbon than purple ribbon.
Answer:
x = -52
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3x-2/3=-18
Multiply each side by 3 to clear the fractions
3(1/3x-2/3)=-18*3
x - 2 = -54
Add 2 to each side
x-2+2 = -54+2
x = -52
The cheap answer is, well, all we do is, grab the denominator of one and multiply the other by it, top and bottom, and grab the denominator of the other, and multiply the first one by that one too, that way, both will have the same denominator, and then you can simply check the numerator to see who's larger, let's do so.
surely you can tell.
